Related: About this forumHarris responds to Donald Trump's false remarks about her racial identity - DW News
Former US President Donald Trump attended a conference with Black journalists in Chicago on Wednesday where he falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris had previously identified only as Indian before "turning Black."
"I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black?" Trump said at the annual convention of National Association of Black Journalists conference (NABJ).
In reality, Harris the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother has always embraced her heritage.
She attended Howard University, a prestigious historically Black university, and was also a member of the historically Black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha.
As a US senator, Harris was part of the Congressional Black Caucus, where she supported legislation aimed at strengthening voting rights and reforming policing. - Aired on 08/02/2024.

so that people who claim to be far smarter than the average person don't look extremely not smart. shithole loves to call other people dumb; well, I guess the "apples" don't fall far from the tree.

That TFG was just like a 4th grader, trying to make up an insult even if it made no sense.
